2025 Fantasy Outlook
Herrera contributed to seven league goals in the 2024/25 campaign and often impressed with his timing and energy in the final third. He played a major role linking play and arriving late into the box while also offering bite in midfield. If he can avoid the nagging injuries that limited him at times, Herrera could become even more influential in 2025/26. With improved squad depth around him, he may be in a better position to post career-high numbers in both goals and assists, especially because Girona will be more league-focused next season and won't lose energy in Europe.

Signs with Real Sociedad
Herrera has signed a contract with Real Sociedad until 2030, joining on a permanent move from Girona, his new club announced.
ANALYSIS
Herrera began his career with Atletico Venezuela before moving to Manchester City, who loaned him to New York City, Huesca, Granada, Espanyol, and Girona. After three years at Girona, where he was signed permanently following a successful loan, he now arrives at Real Sociedad as a dynamic and energetic midfielder. As an established Venezuela international, Herrera strengthens the midfield and reunites with compatriot Jon Aramburu. That said, the midfielder is currently dealing with a hamstring injury and will likely play his first minutes with the team in early October.
